ME Upper - PR's and vids

JOKER47

Elite Mentor
Been working a different shift all week due to a class I am taking for work. Got me all messed up. Workouts have been rough all week. I needed a PR or two today to make me feel a little better.:)

Warmup
DB Cleans - 1x15
Windmills - 2x10 - Each arm

Standing OHP - Split-jerk style, no clean. (Pulled off racks.)

135x1x2
155x1
175x1
190x1
200x1
215x1 - Thought I would be done at this point, but it went up easier than I thought it would.
225x1 - PR, and Personal Goal!!!
I held it up for so long at the end because I was making sure I HAD that lockout.:D

Standing Strict OHP
125x3x8 - 2 rep PR on the last 2 sets!
Third set
I don't normally count this as a PR because the weight increase is planned. But last week, I only got 8,6,6 out of the three sets, so I decided to claim a PR.:D

Face-Pulls
4x15 - Light bands - 45 secs between sets.

CG Press - Index on smooth
155x3x8

Tricep pull-downs - Burnout
3x12 - Medium band


Felt good to hit a PR finally this week. 225 OHP has been a personal goal of mine or quite some time. Next goal, 255lbs.


Comment always welcome,

sweet, gj getting a pr especially if your schedules been so hectic.

thanks for the vids (started doing zerchers after watching one of your clips :))
 
Nice job. Try keeping your feet even before the press on your split presses. Your left foot was slightly behind the right. Your balance will improve and the weight will go more up instead of slightly forward. Great explosiveness and follow through. Also nice buddha ya got going looks a lot like mine:D the mark of a true plifter.

Thanks man.:) Split-jerking feels more natural for me than "regular" jerking. I only split-jerk for 1rm's. Otherwise, I try to "regular" jerks as I think they are more efficient for reps. (But I suck at them.:D)

Tell the girl I apologize for the belly shots....:D I didn't know it was that bad until after I saw the videos.
